This magnificent open letter carries with it the force of a 2000 pound bunker (tunnel?) busting bomb.
May we all have the resolve to deploy these facts as needed!
I'd also like to add that dignity is a human right, but first you must be human to acknowledge this right.
The barbarians holding our hostages and those who still support it deserve no such acknowledgement, and dignity will continue to elude them so long as our hostages are held.
I think we have to come down hard on certain behaviors in the U.S. For example, these outfits that cover the face and the whole body: not allowed in public buildings, public transportation. When they come in they have to sign a statement saying they will adhere to US values and they have to say it out loud. I don't know what else. But we should make it difficult and if they don't like it, I'm happy to pay for a one-way ticket to wherever.
The author appears to be a Canadian. Quite an indictment of Palestinian culture. It is hard to believe there was a time when they were considered to be among the more ambitious and educated of the Arab populations. Who knew that hatred was so contagious? It feels like Covid, only deadlier.
Ynet News reports tonight on a speech by Trump about the war in Lebanon:
'A week before Election Day in the U.S., former president and current Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump referred to the war in Lebanon and wrote on social media that: "During my Administration, we had peace in the Middle East, and we will have peace again very soon! I will fix the problems caused by Kamala Harris and Joe Biden and stop the suffering and destruction in Lebanon. I want to see the Middle East return to real peace, a lasting peace, and we will get it done properly so it doesn’t repeat itself every 5 or 10 years! I will preserve the equal partnership among all Lebanese communities. Your friends and family in Lebanon deserve to live in peace, prosperity, and harmony with their neighbors, and that can only happen with peace and stability in the Middle East. I look forward to working with the Lebanese community living in the United States of America to ensure the safety and security of the great people of Lebanon. Vote Trump for Peace!" (Ynet)
There can be no place for Hezbollah in Lebanon's Political future. They murdered 241 US marines and soldiers in cold blood in 1983 in the Beirut bombing of their barracks. Hezbollah is a violent Terrorist Militia, who will do the same again if protected by any place for them in Lebanon. And they are backed by Iran.
There is a great book illustrating the Arab military mindset: "Why Arabs Lose Wars" by a US Colonel Norvell De Atkine. It goes back to the tribal identity and mentality. The use of and attacks on civilians are part of seeing all conflict as a kind of guerilla warfare. Fellow Palestinians are just bodies to throw under the tank tracks if their deaths will advance the tribe.
Fredro, you and the Colonel make sense - the tribal mentality of Palestinians you cite! Add the treatment of women as no more than useful objects for the tribe. How to relate to a tribe? The Israelis must do their best to save themselves!
<< The Palestinian cause was never about improving the lives of Palestinians. >> Replace here the first "Palestinian" by "communism"/ "socialism" (not exactly "Marxism", as at least in part and initially Marxism had seen itself as the "heir of liberalism" and as an idea that had considered how freedom could become accessible and possible for everyone, instead of a "privilege for few" - before "Marxism" then went overboard, became a mass movement and contradicted its own alleged principles of freedom: just as it happens with today's self-proclaimed "freedom" movements: the originally legitimate impulse of equality and the end of injustice and discrimination "went overboard" and became the prohibition and exclusion mechanism of the "woke" movement), or replace "Palestinians" by "Workers" or "citizens", and then it becomes clear why it '(ji)had to be' a "left" movement that continues to be making the same mistakes over and over again for 150 years: they "demand" from everyone else and "appeal" to their "responsibility" - but completely forget about SELF-responsibility. Self-criticism and self-development cannot develop in Arab societies, which are characterized by a master and slave mentality, and not in an alleged "religion" such as "Islam", which places the most severe penalties on thinking for oneself and believing in freedom and self-knowledge. The few countries in the "Arab world" that are more successful have simply adopted "western", "liberal" values (which does not make them free societies, however). It is therefore clear that "leftists" pounce in a pathological and manic way on those who claim to want and be in need of "help" and who are supposedly unable to help themselves and who seek to blame "others" for everything, of course first and foremost "the Jews". Jews have been familiar with this search for "guilt" for several thousand years, not only by Muslims.
And so, "real existing" Marxism was never about improving the lives of "the masses", but one of self-hate (Marx was a jew who "hated himself/ "the Jews"), authoritarian master and slave games and obeyance. So it was inevitable for "poor" Palestinians to become *victim* of the deceitful and self-righteous 'caring' of so-called 'leftists', who are nothing but fascists in mind.
Not true, resp. only partly true - only parts of his family converted. Karl Marx' uncle "Samuel Marx von Trier" was elected Chief Rabbi of Trier in 1809 by Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III., also some of his seven children, like Dr. Moses Marx (later living in Glywice/ Gleiwitz) remained Jewish.
Karl Marx' father - brother of Samuel - Heinrich (Herschel) Marx was descending from important rabbinical families on both his father's and mother's side
That same Friedrich Wilhelm III had promised laws for setting Jews as equal citizens, but in 1815 after the "Wiener Kongress" the Jewish community in Trier waited in vain for this to become true as promised by Frederick William III in the "Jewish Edict" of 1812.
So, the conversion was not voluntary: since Heinrich Marx, as a Jew in Prussia - unlike in Napoleonic France, to which Trier had belonged until 1815 - would not have been allowed to continue working as an Avoué (advocate, lawyer), he converted to Protestantism in 1822, i.e. after Karl's birth. Karl was not baptized before 1824, at the age of six.
'Marx was a jew who "hated himself/ "the Jews". Really? 'Jews have been familiar with this search for "guilt"' Most Jews I know neither hate themselves or search for guilt. You are just a typical German in Academia who projects your Nazi nonsense onto Jewish people. Also, Hitler turned The German People into his slaves. Germans died in their millions in the War which followed. The alternative to Liberal Democracy is the Totalitarian Slave State. Both Nazi Germany and Communist Russia are examples of just this.
I did nowhere claim that jews are “in search for guilt”. Please READ CAREFULLY ! If you are not capable of comprehending what others say or write, refrain from insulting them in an unbearable way. Did you DUMB arrogant THING really “think” I need lesson in history from you ??? FUCK OFF.
Indeed. You meant that the Jews are used to being the scapegoats for others looking for the 'Guilty'. I am sorry. Please accept my apology. To also say, I don't like people to be described as 'Animals'. De-humanisation was one of the Horrors of Nazism, and I do not like to see this used here.
I don´t think that people, or "Palestininans" are generally described here as "animals". Rather here is a reference to that indeed many "Palestinians" (did) behave towards Jews like animals, if they rape, burn, kill jews. It must be allowed to the victims and their sympathisants who feel with them and express their anger and sorrow in terms like these.
But as we talk about how questionable people get described sometimes, we can refer to Karl Marx again:
What did Karl Marx say about one of his fellow socialists (and opponents), Ferdinand Lassalle (1825-64), who was a writer, socialist politician and one of the spokesmen of the early German workers’ movement - and also jewish, like Marx ?
<< The Jewish nigger Lassalle, who is fortunately leaving this week, has lost [...] 5000 Thalers in a false speculation. The guy would rather throw the money in the dirt than lend it to a 'friend', even if he was guaranteed interest and capital. >>
<< It is now completely clear to me that, as his head shape and hair growth prove, he is descended from the negroes who joined Moses in his journey out of Egypt (unless his mother or grandmother on his father's side crossed with a nigger). Well, this combination of Judaism and Germanic culture with the negro-like basic substance must produce a strange product. The boy’s intrusiveness is also nigger-like.“ >>
Marx did nowhere critically examine anti-Semitism - instead, he linked jewishness with attributions from various forms of racism.
In addition to the combination of anti-Semitism and colonial racism, this also included the use of cultural and body-related elements.
For example, on the occasion of a visit to Lassalle, he claimed that Countess Sophie von Hatzfeldt, who was a dear friend of Lassalle, had "heard and crammed a Jewish tone" from him.
At a dinner given to welcome him in Berlin, he sat next to an acquaintance of Lassalle, whom he described as "the ugliest creature" he had ever seen - "with a horrible Jewish physiognomy.“
One argument that was put forward intensively, especially by the young Marx, was the connection between Judaism and the monetary economy. Irrespective of the contradictory interpretations of the essay ‘On the Jewish Question’, the ‘real Jews’ are seen as representatives of ‘Eigennutz" (self-enrichment) and "haggle-making" and declared their idolization of money to be an "expression of human self-alienation“.
Here can be recognized a cornerstone of the hatred towards Jews that is unfortunately not at all rare among „leftists“, as a.o. to be seen in the widespread conglomerate of leftists and „Palestinians“; of course not in all „Leftists“.
Your 'Lassalle' quotes seem well sourced. I would caution you, however. Are you sure these quotes are not Plants-in-the-record by Goebbels' Nazi propagandists who were very active during The Third Reich, or by the Racist Secret Police also active in the pre-German era when Marx and his Revolutionaries were being watched, in the manner of forged counter-propaganda?
No, these quotes and Marx's attitude towards Jews were always known and have been proven again and again especially by Marxist researchers; Marx's correspondence has been published again and again and some of it has always been readable in the official collected works. Of course, this was also used by Nazis and often taken out of context. The older Marx got, the less frequently he made such statements.
To also say, I don't like people to be described as 'Animals'. De-humanisation was one of the Horrors of Nazism, and I do not like to see this used here.

Credited to guest writer Ned Blinick. Possibly Canadian based on other posts
I can’t believe he’s a Canadian. If he is he doesn’t read the news and know we have a huge housing crisis and do not need Palestinian immigrants.
Palestinian What?
The world wants the Palestinians gone and they're more than happy to shed Jewish blood to get it done.

I am paying attention ! Could it relate to their hiding terrorists in hospitals and schools?

Karl Marx came from a Jewish family who converted to Christianity before he was born.

Palestinians behave like animals!

STOP THAT !! Please do not insult the animals !!
Wow Ned Blinick. We have been writing about the same stuff with the same point of view. Bravo. Please check it out: at https://thetruthfulproject.blogspot.com/ & https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/author/david-s-levine/
Well said.
Swedish Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch gets it. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/world-news/islam-must-adapt-to-swedish-values-or-leave-deputy-prime-minister-ebba-busch-sparks-row/videoshow/113000720.cms
Note: Canada does NOT need immigrants. PM Trudeau has been bringing them in very high numbers (mostly from India) for several years.
The country now has a massive housing crisis. In my city young people can’t even afford rent. Buying is a pipe dream.
I’ve never seen anything like it my 73 years.
Trudeau has finally started to curb the numbers—his poll numbers are very low because of this.
We do need a single Palestinian.
